When bungie announced that they had started work on Halo 2 they said that they would have a load of new weapons including a flame thrower, anyone remember? does anyone know if there is still going to be one in the final version?

I don't know about that, although I do know that they planned a flamethrower for the original Halo, but it was cut.

I would be interesting in seeing where Bungie said a flamethrower will be in halo 2. Show us the proof...oh no wait your attention seeking very funny.

I read somewhere that the only way the were going to hav the flamthrower was if they could get evverything around it to catch fire, i.e. trees shrubs and people, and that is a tough task. It probably wont be in the single player but if they can figure out that stuff we may be burning each other alive soon.

What you read is about halo 1 and how the flamethrower wouldn't set stuff on fire which is why they took it out.

I know.. even on Army Men Sarges Heroes for Nintendo 64 you can catch stuff on fire.. geeeeessssss. i cant beleive bungie hasnt done it yet... hopeuflly they will have it with halo 2 though. its the best weapon to have in a Warthog... you have a driver to get the flag.... a gunner to shoot everyone dead.. and the flame thrower that goes iinto the base first fora suicide mission to distract all the peope in the base.. or just kill them all.

flamethrower blows i hope its not in h2. and just because they said it way back when they anounced it, doesnt mean bungie cant change plans and take it out.

Id have to agree with food The thing I wouldnt like about the Flamethrower is that it would take no skill to use. Even less than the rocket launcher. All youd have to do is look near someone and press the trigger and bam there dead. Id rather see a weapon that takes skill to wield so that games are more interesting.

The flamethrower would be a good counter to the plasma sword.

if they do put a flamethrower they should limit the length of which it fires, i think it should be short ranged like fencr505 said and be a good counter for the plasma sword, but it should only inflict damage at very short range so not anyone could use it, only skilled persons. that would be cool.
